i love to create day 4 -- Big Shot die cutter

Each day of the year is a great day to get crafty! In February we are celebrating some of our favorite

scrapbooking and stamping products because they make creating more fun, easier, and inspire us to do

more. We want to share the love with you, so each day in February (it’s a leap year so there are 29 days!)

we are picking one of our favotire products to share with you!

Check back each day to see the daily pick, and learn more about it.

We craft ourselves, and actually use and recommend these items, because we Love to Create!

Today’s pick: The Big Shot die cutter machine by Sizzix.

The Sizzix Big Shot Machine is a versatile, easy to use and affordable multipurpose creative system. It is designed to allow you to cut and/or emboss for creating unlimited fun projects. Use with the thin or 'wafer thin' dies, use with any brand of embossing folders or embossing plates, use with BIGZ dies- heavy duty steel rule dies that allow you to cut through a large array of materials- everything from several sheets of cardstock at once, to felt, fabric, leather, chipboard, grungeboard, acrylic sheets, thin metal sheets, balsa wood, lace, magnetic sheets, cork, burlap, canvas, and more!

Super stylish in black and pink! This portable roller machine cuts and embosses beautifully The whole idea to getting a great cut or emboss is finding the right 'sandwich' to run through the Big Shot. Die cut and emboss machines have the same general process of layering the media you want to cut or emboss between cutting or embossing mats, platforms, and shims and then rolling through the machine. We love how easy Sixxix makes this - by including with the big shot a platform, with 2 shims, and 2 cutting mats. The multipurpose platform and shims have color pictures and instructions right on them so you can easily and quickly find the sandwich you need to make for your project.

We offer a large selection of sizzix accessories, dies, and folders as well as several other brands all of which can be used in your Big Shot Machine - with the right 'sandwich'.
